not legal
I don't think the notarized paper is legal at all. In fact they can probably say they were fleeing and gave you their daughter under duress. You want to complete your home study and then have the child placed in your home as a relative placement. Contact their DCFS caseworker. If she keeps changing their mind then she's not sure she wants to give up her child. If they can work their caseplan witout reoffending then they should be allowed to riase their child. If they cannot, then they should work out a regular, private adoption plan, without fleeing from the law or anything else. If they cannot do that if there is a warrant out for them they can contact DCFS and voluntarily place their child with them and then you, as a relative placement, especially if you are also an enrolled Indian you have prioroty for placement. Contact an ICWA lawyer to ensure everything is aboveboard.
